Short Kuroken|Bokuken story

How It Started #1

Kuroo had seen the way his best friend looked at his boyfriend. He'd caught on those 'not-so-subtle' looks. Bokuto had never been known to be subtle. It should bother him. He should feel jealous. But he doesn't.

After all it starts small.

Shared looks between Bokuto and Kenma. There's nothing to it, except Kuroo is starting to read too much into it. Small touches follow. And there's still nothing to it, but Kuroo sees something. 

 They hug for a little too long.  

They sit next to each other, a little too close. They share smiles that are just between the two of them.They become comfortable in each other's presence. An exploit, considering Kenma struggles to be around people for long periods of time.

Kuroo should be jealous, but jealousy isn't what he feels when he sees Bokuto and Kenma together. Desire. A desire to see his best friend with his boyfriend. He tests the thought, gets familiar with it. Then he decides to share it. 

 'Oi, Kenma' 

Kenma hums as an acknowledgement but otherwise keeps his eyes on the screen of his switch.Kuroo shuffles closer to him on the couch. 'What do you think of Bo?'Kenma's fingers pause for a moment, then he resumes, his thumb moving over the joy-con.

'He's alright. Why are you asking?''Just curious. Wanna make sure my boyfriend and my best friend get along'Kenma doesn't pause his movements this time, but Kuroo notices the small frown on his face.'We do''Good, good. That's good'.

Kuroo moves away from Kenma and stands. He's stopped by Kenma tugging on the fabric of his dress pants.'Kuro'There's concern in Kenma's voice. When Kuroo meets his eyes, he recognizes the calculating look, trying to decipher Kuroo's thoughts with a simple look.

'What do you really want to ask me, Kuro?' There's a pause as Kenma carefully analyzes Kuroo's expression. 'If you're worried something's going on between me and Bokuto, you don't have to worry' Another pause. This time, Kenma narrows his eyes at him. 

'Unless... you want something to be going on between us... Do you?' Kuro sits back and lets out a nervous laugh. 'Shouldn't be surprised at how quick you are to figure things out' 

 For a moment neither of them speak. Kenma stares at Kuroo, eyes growing wider by the second.

'Oh my god'Kuroo can feel the panic blooming in his chest. He can always just pretend he's joking and never bring it up again. Before he can backtrack, Kenma asks 

'Kuro, do you want me and Bokuto to have sex?'

There's no judgement in Kenma's voice and that seems to somewhat appease the turmoil inside Kuroo.'It sounds crazy, I know. It's just... You two get along so well and you're both really important to me' 

 'I- don't think it sounds crazy'

Kenma is looking down at his switch in his lap and even though his hair covers part of his face, Kuroo can tell he's blushing. 'Yeah?' And Kenma nods, humming quietly and still refusing to meet Kuroo's gaze. This makes him grin as he leans closer. 

'Also, thinking about you two like that is fucking hot' 

 Kuroo's grin widens when Kenma's hands fly to his face to cover his reddened cheeks.When Kenma composes himself, he turns to look at Kuroo, meet his gaze. 

'Will you let me think about it?'

Kuroo's mind goes blank for a moment. Kenma is actually going to think about it. 'Really? I mean, you don't have to, you know? Didn't even think you'd consider it''I never thought I'd consider being with Bokuto like that, but...'
